This veteran is none other than the renowned producer Carol Baum, who seems to hold a lot of criticism for Sweeney and her projects that everyone else seems to love. But Sweeney isn’t one to just sit back and face the harsh criticism she doesn’t deserve either, for her reps have released a statement that perfectly coincides with fans’ opinion on the matter.

Zendaya switched into a second look of the night at the LA premiere of her new movie Challengers held at Westwood Village Theater on Tuesday night (April 16) in Los Angeles.
Earlier in the night, the 27-year-old star of the film wore a lace and tulle look by Vera Wang as she hit the black carpet alongside co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist.
Zendaya then changed into another dress, this time way more on theme with the tennis movie, as she wore a dress the same color as a tennis ball, complete with a ball in the center of the look where her belly button is!
The second, custom tennis ball dress is from Celia Kritharioti.
Zendaya has of course been wearing a lot of tennis-themed looks for the Challengers press tour across the world. You can see all of her outfits here!

Zendaya is causing quite a racket — with racquets! — in Luca Guadagnino’s sexy tennis drama “Challengers.”
Chatter around the film’s steamy appeal started as soon as the first teaser dropped, which showed stars Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor engaging in what looked like the prelude to a threesome. We’ve since learned after seeing the movie that this ménage à trois isn’t exactly the fantasy some audiences have in mind.
At the Los Angeles premiere, the trio served their own takes to IndieWire on what kind of story this film wants to tell about sexuality and the fickle game of love. Zendaya, who plays tennis prodigy Tashi Donaldson, explained further: “What’s really special about this movie is that it is incredibly sexy, but there surprisingly [are] no sex scenes,” she said. “I’ve been asked a lot about sex scenes from people who have seen the movie,...

Challengers is releasing to theaters and we’re celebrating with a giveaway!
Zendaya sizzles in the steamy new film from acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino. Guadagnino — who brought us Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All, Suspiria (2018) and A Bigger Splash — combines the world of competitive tennis with the steamy messiness of a love triangle. It’s a fast paced and flashy film that marks Zendaya’s second major theatrical release of the year, following Dune: Part Two. Joining the Spider-Man: No Way Home star are Josh O’Connor (The Crown) and Mike Faist (West Side Story) as former friends now competing for the affection of the alluring Tashi.
I had the pleasure of catching an advanced screening at the beginning of the month and I had an absolute blast with this one-of-a-king film. You can check out my full review below. Originally scheduled to be released in September of 2023 before...

Before teaming up with director Luca Guadagnino on Challengers, Zendaya sought advice from Dune costar Timothée Chalamet, who starred in Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name in 2017.
“He said wonderful things,” Zendaya told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere of Challengers on Tuesday. “Luca is brilliant and I’ve wanted to work with Luca for a very long time and this just seemed like the absolute perfect thing. When we first met about the script he had such a keen, deep understanding of the characters from the beginning and a clearer idea of the kind of movie he wanted to create. And the script was brilliant, [writer] Justin Kuritzkes is so talented and I’m so happy for him. So it all made sense.”

Even before Zendaya won an Emmy for starring in the popular HBO original drama Euphoria, she was a prominent figure in the Marvel film industry. Having said that, she is the only member of Sam Levinson’s series’ main cast who remains a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This will undoubtedly change if her Euphoria co-star, Sydney Sweeney, chooses to emulate Zendaya’s footsteps.
We are confident in Sweeney’s ability to carry out a variety of roles because of her work outside of the Cassie Howard role, such as her courageous performance in HBO’s The White Lotus. That is exactly the kind of talent Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, seeks in an actor when deciding who will play the next big Marvel characters on either the small or big screen.

Although the ‘Euphoria’ star is an executive producer of the hit HBO series, she said she’s “not in charge” of whether or not the third season will really happen, reports Variety.

Sam Raimi is a legend when it comes to Spider-Man movies. Having brought the famous web singer to live action and creating some of the best Spder-Man movies ever made, the filmmaker is a true visionary. And ever since Tobey Maguire was brought back as Peter Parker in MCU’s No Way Home, there have been calls to bring the iconic Maguire-Raimi duo back for another outing.

Although these have just been rumors, there is hope that the director will return to work with Marvel Studios after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And if a recent rumor is true, Raimi isn’t working on making another Maguire feature but is in the line to helm a pretty important film.

Zendaya not only stars in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers but is also a producer in the film written by Justin Kuritzkes.
At the LA premiere, the film’s star talked to Deadline about working with Guadagnino in the movie, which she co-stars in with Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist.
“Luca is brilliant. I think he has such a beautiful understanding about the human experience and deeply understands characters on another level,” she told us. “That was very apparent from the first time I spoke with him about this film and about these characters. He just knew who these people were in a deep sense and understood them, their hopes, their wants, their dreams, their desires, their fears.”
She continued, “It was nice. It was so special to be able to collaborate with him, work with him, and learn from him as well. We had tennis training and all these great things.

The Kardashians ‘Snubbed’ From Met Gala After Years On A-List?
Though the ensembles have not always been the best, the KarJenner family has been ones to watch when it comes to the Met Gala. For Kim Kardashian, she went to great lengths for the 2022 Met.

Is it too soon to wax nostalgic about "Spider-Man: No Way Home"? The movie that closed out Tom Holland's Spidey trilogy debuted in theaters less than two-and-a-half years ago, but it already feels like a relic of a bygone era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Sony-distributed film continued a pre-existing story we cared about, balanced delightful, fan-friendly cameos and heartbreaking, unpredictable moments, and utilized the star power of three different Spider-Man actors — plus, of course, superstar Zendaya.
Zendaya's Mj was always a high point of the most recent Peter Parker saga, and she got several moments to shine in "Spider-Man: No Way Home." She was also at the center of some of the movie's funniest bits, like when she pelts Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker with hunks of bread to test his Spidey sense. This offbeat character introduction apparently wasn't scripted, as Garfield told Happy Sad Confused...

After a long delay that saw it drop out of the 2023 Venice Film Festival due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the wait for “Challengers” is nearly over. Luca Guadagnino’s erotic thriller, which stars Zendaya as a tennis prodigy who finds herself in a love triangle with two professional players after an injury forces her to retire, seems well-positioned to be one of spring’s biggest hits, thanks to its combination of star power and strong early reviews.
In a new featurette released by MGM, Guadagnino, Zendaya, and her “Challengers” co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist can be seen discussing the film’s use of tennis as an allegory for sexual power dynamics.
“It’s like a tennis movie, but it’s not really about tennis,” Zendaya said. “Tennis is really just the outlet these characters use to express their chaos.”

Luca Guadagnino's new film "Challengers" is set in 2019 during a pivotal tennis match between tennis pro Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) and the struggling also-ran Patrick Zweig (Josh O'Connor). Watching from the stands is Donaldson's wife, the former teen tennis prodigy Tashi Duncan (Zendaya). Tashi looks incredibly concerned, and the two players seem to hate each other. The film then begins a series of flashbacks, stretching back 13 years to when the characters were all teenagers. It seems that Art, Patrick, and Tashi once had a three-way makeout session in a motel room that cemented their physical and emotional attraction for years. Tashi briefly dated Josh, while Art, retaining a crush, attempted to sabotage their relationship. Art and Tashi would begin a romance after she sustains an injury, with Tashi becoming Art's coach. Resentment bubbles apace.
It's all very soapy, of course, but Guadagnino tempers the melodrama with excellent attention to detail,...

Another day, another slay. That, I think, is Zendaya and her talented stylist Law Roach’s mantra throughout the Challengers promotional run. After nailing the method dressing game at the Rome premiere and photocall for Challengers with her tennis whites and tennis ball heels, Zendaya and her talented glam squad jetted to London to ace yet another stylish press tour.
And just as I had predicted, they killed it in the style and glam department! As a nod to her upcoming sports drama movie, Zendaya donned two tennis-inspired outfits—one with literal tennis elements and the other a sporty mini skirt with a playful twist. But in addition to her ensembles, her hairstyles are also worth checking out.

The storyline follows former tennis star Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), whose career ends due to a leg injury, as she reconnects with her pro husband Art (Mike Faist) and a former rival/lover Patrick (Josh O’Conner) years later.

Amazon MGM Studios’ latest featurette for Challengers features the film’s stars – Zendaya (Dune Parts 1 and 2), Mike Faist (West Side Story), and Josh O’Connor (The Crown) – discussing the R-rated drama. Zendaya, the center of a love triangle in the mesmerizing sports drama, says the film’s a rollercoaster of emotions that challenges the audience.
Oscar nominated director Luca Guadagnino describes the film as a “passionate love story where the rules of the game of tennis become the rules of the game of seduction.” And Zendaya considers tennis to be just the outlet for the characters to express their chaos.

“From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court.

Oscar-winning Nine Inch Nails duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have taken on the challenge of making the “Challengers” score an unprecedented mix.
Aptly-titled “Challengers [Mixed],” the Sony Music release from Reznor and Ross includes nine tracks from the upcoming film’s electronic score, with each deconstructed and subsequently reimagined into a continuous mix by DJ and producer Boys Noize, who was hand-selected by the duo for the project. You can listen to it right here or stream it below.
“Challengers” marks Reznor and Ross’ second collaboration with auteur Luca Guadagnino following “Bones and All.” The feature, out in theaters in two weeks, follows the love triangle between tennis stars played by Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist.
Director Guadagnino, despite not penning the “Challengers” script (instead that was written by frequent collaborator Justin Kuritzkes) did actually write lyrics to track “Compress/Repress,” as included in the Sony Music mix.

Challengers releases to theaters April 26th, 2024.
In his first film since 2022’s Bones and All, director Luca Guadagnino explores the cost of competition, both in the world of tennis and in matters of the heart. The Italian filmmaker — perhaps best known to American audiences for the critical darling Call Me By Your Name — heats up the screen, utilizing a talented young cast and an unusual story structure to craft an enthralling and unique cinematic experience.

Luca Guadagnino, the man credited for launching Timothée Chalamet’s hugely successful career in the exquisite 2017 LGBTQ-themed movie Call Me By Your Name, is back with the single most anticipated title of the year yet. First scheduled to premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in 2023, Challengers was eventually pulled out of the festival due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. The film eventually premiered in in Sydney, Australia last month and will be released in the UK later this month.
Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist, it tells the story of a passionate love triangle between three professional tennis players. Zendaya is also credited as producer on the film.
Tashi (Zendaya) Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach, is married to Art Donaldson (Faist), a once promising champion who finds himself on a losing streak. Her ballsy strategy to get her husband winning again takes a rather surprising...

Anyone who’s ever played tennis knows the game starts with love and escalates fast. In Luca Guadagnino’s hip, sexy and ridiculously overheated “Challengers,” the rivals are former doubles partners Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) and Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor), best friends since the age of 12, who went their separate ways after both players fell for the same woman. Patrick got there first, but Art wound up marrying her — and their sense of competition has only intensified since.
As bunkmates at the same tennis academy, the guys must have heard this old groaner: What do you call a girl who stands between two players on a tennis court? In Guadagnino’s erotic drama, Zendaya plays the gal in that position, seated at precisely the midpoint between Art and Patrick in their big match. The camera doesn’t turn, but her head does, swiveling with each shot. This is Tashi Duncan,...

Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers opens in an intentionally disorienting manner: We are in New Rochelle, New York for a tennis challenger. Wearing cheap shorts that resemble boxers, Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor) battles Art Donaldson (Mike Faist), clad in head-to-toe Uniqlo, while the glamorous Tashi Donaldson (Zendaya) watches tensely from the stands. Flashbacks, first from a few days prior, and then way back to 13 years ago, slowly fill in the gaps on how these two former best friends ended up in such a position: playing against one another in a mid-tier tennis challenger comically sponsored by a tire brand.
Even as Challengers zips back and forth in time with boundless energy, the narrative, to Guadagnino and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes’ credit, is never hard to follow. Sometimes the foreknowledge afforded by time jumps end up sacrificing drama, but in Challengers this sacrifice makes space for us to feel the burden of these broken relationships.

One needn't do a very deep internet search to find news outlets doing some adolescent tittering about the threesome scene in Luca Guadagnino's new love-triangle sports drama "Challengers." I am disappointed to report that the scene in question is not a threesome, but a brief three-way make-out session that lasts maybe 90 seconds. It's no more salacious than one might see at the average screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Anyone who has watched "Y tu Mamá También" or "The Dreamers" has already enjoyed more sexual intensity.
The brief makeout, however, more or less cements long-standing romantic and sexual chemistry for the three involved. "Challengers" is about struggling through your 20s, using the echoes of your adolescence to form lasting bonds that, with enough time, ferment into resentment. Each of the male leads will, at some point, say a version of the line "He's not really in love with you,...

“Are we talking about tennis?” asks Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor) in a mid-aughts flashback as chugging, four-on-the-floor beats kick in to accompany an argument between him and his sure-to-turn-pro girlfriend, Tashi Duncan (Zendaya). It’s one of several instances in director Luca Guadagnino’s sexy, swaggering sports drama Challengers where the characters make subtext into text. “We’re always talking about tennis,” she responds, but in Justin Kuritzkes’s screenplay, tennis isn’t just tennis—it’s sex, it’s power, it’s self-determination, or, as Tashi herself puts it at one point, “it’s a relationship.” What do we talk about when we talk about tennis? In Challengers at least, it’s absolutely everything else.
Challengers frames its drama against a 2019 Atp event where the sport’s biggest star, 33-year-old Art Donaldson (Mike Faist), is competing to regain some confidence after a professional rough patch on his way to a Grand Slam.
